All challenging wood cutting, drilling and shaping is already done professionally, as well as fret leveling and dressing.
Some woodworking skills and tools required for completing this project. You will need some tools and finishing supplies.

Disclaimer:
The successful construction and assembly of acoustic instruments rely on a complex set of mathematical and physical equations, as well as the inherent variables associated with wood products. Adherence to these equations is critical to the instrument being playable within the parameters of tuning and intonation. We have taken every precaution in order to make our acoustic kits as easy to assemble as possible.
Therefore we will not take responsibility if the variables associated with acoustic instruments, or the lack of skill and/or accuracy on the part of the assembler contribute to the instrument not meeting the customers expectations.

WOW, I recently finished this kit and I have to say it sounds great. Construction of the completed body and the fit of the dovetail joint on the neck was tight and required only a minimal adjustment to get the truss rod in thru the top. Installing the bridge and saddle with the included instructions went smooth and almost flawlessly. Remember to check the centerline of the neck on the bridge and string distance from the sides of the fingerboard, if not you may see a slight difference in the top and bottom E strings. The instructions included with the kit are excellent for both novice and experienced builder. The sealer on this kit hinders a stain so I wouldn’t recommend using anything but a finish coat. In the end I would say it was a good build, very playable, and nice sounding instrument.

Just finished my build.
Just to clarify, if you want to stain the guitar, just sand with 320 grip paper until the guitar is silky smooth, and then it will take any stain you would like to put on it.
My build: I decided to just leave it natural. Just sanded with 320 grit and then over a 1 week period sprayed 15 coats of high quality liquor.
Let it sit for 3 weeks to allow finish to harden. Then started sanding all the way up to 2000 grit. all over 100 grit was wet sanded.
30 minutes on my big buffer and it looks better then a store boughten guitar.
Do not rust, take your time and you to will have a guitar that you will cherish for years to come.

This was my first time building a guitar and I am fully satisfied with the results.
After 12 coats of tung oil, the finish is exactly what I was looking for.
Adjusting the intonation took a few hours and now it play just as good as my $450.00 Art and Lutherie 12 string guitar.
